Kubik is a cosmic entity that appears in the Marvel Universe. The character first appears as a Cosmic Cube in Tales of Suspense #79 (vol. 1, Jul. 1966), and as Kubik in Avengers #289 (vol. 1, Mar. 1988). The concept was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and refined by Ralph Machio.
Kubik, pupil of the Shaper of Worlds, first appears on Earth in its transitional humanoid form when attracted by an anomaly possessing a fraction of its power, which is revealed to be the robot the Super Adaptoid. Once Kubik finds the Adaptoid, the robot copies Kubik's abilities and banishes it. Becoming all-powerful, the Adaptoid begins to create a race in its own image, until tricked into shutting down by Captain America.
